When we use our bodies to say the words, we can't say out loud..
Have you ever asked yourself what self-harm means? Why would one inflict pain on oneself? Well, look no further, self harm refers to inflicting pain in oneself without the intention of dying. The intention is always to let out what we are experiencing or have experienced, and we feel that this is the only way that works for us. I hope that your knowledge of self-harm provokes feelings of empathy for everyone out there who would need your help.

Self-harm and suicide attempt could they mean the same thing 🤔.
Since it's suicide awareness month, we are republishing all episodes on suicide
Well, they both involve self inflicting of pain. However, they are different in terms of frequency, intent, and lethality. And self harm is used as self medication or as a coping mechanism from any interpersonal conflict like anger, abuse, depression and anxiety.

Are our minds protecting us?
Cognitive defusion is a technique used in acceptance and commitment therapy that involves noticing our thoughts rather than becoming caught up in them.
It helps us create space between our thoughts and feelings and ourselves so that they can not influence us.
The techniques include mindfully watching, just noticing, repeating thoughts, among others.
Remember, the aim is not to avoid our thoughts but to create room for them. Imagine what happens when you try to chase away a bee buzzing around you. It stings you, but you let it buzz around peacefully, notice it is just doing its movements😂 well after some time it goes away on its own.
